Winning Lottery Ticket In Morris County During $1.4B Powerball Drawing

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — The historically high Powerball jackpot remains up for grabs. But a Morris County lottery player still won big in Saturday's drawing.

According to the New Jersey Lottery, a ticket sold at Quick Chek on Route 10 in Denville won $50,000 in the contest. The ticket was one of six in New Jersey that matched four of the five white balls and the Power Ball for a third-tier prize.

The Powerball jackpot, meanwhile, has now reached an estimated jackpot of $1.55 billion for Monday night's drawing—the fourth-highest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

Saturday's winning numbers were 47, 54, 57, 60 and 65. The Power Ball number was 19, with a Power Play of 3X. The winning numbers in the Double Play drawing were 13, 31, 51, 55 and 66 — the Double Play Ball number was 23.

The odds of winning Monday's jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The eventual winner can choose to receive an annuity over a 30-year period. However, the majority of lottery winners opt for the lump-sum option, which is presently worth $679.8 million.

The Powerball jackpot has ballooned for nearly three months, with the prize resetting after somebody won the $1 billion jackpot on July 19.

Powerball's next drawing is set for 10:59 p.m. Monday. New Jersey participants must purchase tickets before 9:59 p.m. to qualify. View the rules here.
